This whole alt universe thing would be the best explanation as to why Team Aqua was evil in one game and why Team Magma would be evil in another. They are similar world and yet not the same.

Pikachu: pika pika Other universe Pikachu: Pooka Pooka Other other universe Pikachu: "If you want help saving your pops I'm your best bet."

Watching in 2019: MatPat: gives ages of Pokémon games Me: wow, those are old *checks date of upload* …alright then

"Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are nearly 13 years old." *Sees video was released 6 years ago.*

Where did the meteor go? Deep down, you know the answer. The extinction of the dinosaurs wasn't a coincidence.

Wait, so, does that means that when you trade a pokemon that evolves from trades (eg. Machamp). They're actually mutated from traveling between dimensions?

Ultra Sun and Moon confirmed this. Also, when you transfer a Pokemon from ORAS/Virtual Console Gen 1 games, the summary says they seemed to have travelled through time and space.

Mat would you have believed someone if they told you in a few years you be making a theory about a live action Pikachu movie where the Pikachu has amnesia and is in fact an older Ash's Pikachu? 😂

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 2 FANCY 4 ME ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

So... Every time I battled a friend when I was a child, I opened a rift in space-time? And every time I throw a pokemon into battle I do the same?! Holy crap!

Game Freak: so guys how are we going to explain all this? **watches Game Theory** Game Freak: GENIUS

4 years later and still referenceing this XD Now 6 omg 😳 I’m 15 now dang I’ve liked this Chanel for a hot minute

So....There's an alternate PokeVerse in which I DIDN'T miss all those focus blasts?!

Sun and Moon actually add to this theory a little. I won't say how of course, due to spoilers.

Oof, who else is here from the detective pikachu theory? The quality change was so surprising

Wanna feel old This is nine years old

that explains why when you trade pokemon from older games that is says on the second page that they have traveled across both space and time to reach your from "insert region here" IT ALL MAKES SENSE!!!!

There's a dimension where you lost that nuzlocke challenge because a zubat used supersonic, and every single one of your pokemon slowly killed itself in confusion, all while the zubat taunted you by critically hitting you with leech life.

This theory would also explain why it appears none of the characters ever age. Every time Ash and his friends explore a new region, they are actually all being explored at the same time by several Ash's on different planets/dimensions. Even if this may not explain how Ash retains memories of his previous journeys, it’s still entirely possible.

In one of the episodes in XY, Ash travels to an alternate universe that's like his but everyone is opposite so that means that there are a bunch if other alternative universes

So.... he sacrifices millions of Pokémon to bring 1 back to life.... Sounds like trying to make a Philosopher's Stone so you can resurrect someone 😏

I remember my Link Cable. I was the only one in my school who had one, and all the kids wanted to trade with each other. I charge a dime every time someone wanted it.

8:45, so, they're basically confirming that thanos exists in the Pokemon universe as well?

If anyone is looking for the music in this video I found 2 "Chrono trigger - the secret to the forest" "Bbq quest - hurr town" / "bbq quest derpiderp town" These took me months to find so I hope you enjoy :)

Since we live in different universes, what happens when we delete our data? Do we just end an entire universe, right then and there?

Actually the game literally tells you that your theory is true. Most don't pay attention but when you talk to the opposite leader of your game in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire They say "Hmm perhaps there Is another dimension where I would have been the one to awaken Kyogre/Groudon and you would face me."

I've been held captive by the recent pokemon craze and I just wanted retread the glory that is MattPatt's glorious pokemon videos. I feel that I must point out though, that they're most likely not called pocket monsters because they use pocket dimensions in their pokemon capturing tech, but according to Pokemon Legends, they're called pocket monsters because they have the ability to change their size naturally, a property pokeballs takes advantage of rather than something inherent in the schematics of the technological device itself.

Oh by the way you're completely right about the multi-dimension thing because in a Pokemon series that I watch there is a episode of featuring two different dimensions the one we know and the one we don't

What if there is an alternate universe where you do send the "asteroid" into the Majoras Mask universe via the LINK cable???

It's true! Sun and moon so Prove IT!

If you have played the post-story of ultra-sun and ultra-moon it actually confirms this

I guess in the universe where Champion Steven's Skitty died, it became a Linkite. That's a Pokemon exclusive to the beta Pokemon game, Pokemon Uranium, and it's basically the spirit of a Pokemon that died inside its PokeBall.

The fact that Looker is in a lot of games is something to be considered. He is definitely the same person in all of the games. Okay, I recently found out that Anabel, who is now in Sun and Moon, came directly from the universe that Pokemon Emerald is in. Hmm... I guess you're right.

Ironicly, I thought that if they did use the Link Cable to warp the Meteorite, That same one would go to the spinoff Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red/Blue Rescue team world, where the world was threaten by Natural Disasters because of a Meteorite on a course for the planet, large enough to destroy all the Pokemon there. What if because of your actions of using the Cable. The Pokeones above weren't pleased with your choice, and when you sleep and wake up, they turned you into a Pokemon in that world to make up for your wrong choice?

Welp this explains why ashes memory is always being messed around

“I’m gonna write mew a theory” Out of context: Mew: thanks! Whit context: Mew: *laughs hysterically*

What's funny is that your theory has been completely proven true with the new Ultra Moon and Sun games. xD SPOILERS Ultra Wormholes connect different realities and through them some new pokemon, (and in the Ultra versions a different species of humanity) come through. And through the Ultra Wormholes, your game connects with ALL different editions (Ruby, Sapphire, Black, etc). From there, Giovanni comes through wanting to rule over all dimensions. He teams up with the villains from every game, villains who have all won in their respective realities. For example, the villain from Sapphire created a world of only sea, Ruby's created a world of only earth, etc. The HERO, you, was never born in those dimensions and thus they all won. So, yeah: you're completely right. :D

THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY THERE ARE FAIRY TYPES IN THE NEWER GAMES AND NOT IN THE EARLIER GAMES

I can definitely get behind this theory because it explains why Gary, Blue, Ash, and Red are 4 completely different people even though they both play the same roles in-game and in the anime. It could also explain how Red and Blue practically love each other now even though they hated each others guts in the original. Or that's just them growing up? Idk anyway its a good theory

Hopefully this will be mentioned more in the gen 4 remakes because of dialga and palkia being the rulers of time and space

The Pokemon games currently have two timelines 1: RBGY GSC RSE DPP BW B2W2 This is the normal timeline. 2: FRLG HGSS ORAS XY SM This one has the weapon fired, the meteor that hits earth which causes Mega Evolution, Primal Reversion, and Z-Moves

wow that is pretty convincing, i mean now we solved the mystery behind the pokeballs they just open a pocket dimension and suck the pokemon into it, where they maybe have infinite room and friends to play with

Me watching this in 2021: God, this intro gives me nostalgia.

You know the theory really is more on the true side when ultra sun and moon came out, with all the villains coming from different dimensions and timelines during the rainbow rocket events, it really all does make sense in a way that each game reallynis its own dimension with slightly different outcomes or plot points

Ohhhh, a Link Cable you say? Then it's conceivable that a Fairy or two probably got sucked into that mess.

"Each copy of each game is in fact, its own universe too." Can't this technically be said for every single game ever made? I mean even the most linear games have mild differences between playthroughs.

God job doing this theory! I was always pretty sure that the games where multiverses. Was pretty obvious concidering there are two to three versions of the same game every time. But it's nice seeing someone putting all the lore information together to explain it!

That was my favorite introduction, thank you, you have made my day!

This Opening was Onyxpected.

Hang on, the Pokemon multiverse thing wasn't obvious? There are characters that switch places, children whose genders change from game to game, and, heck, some of the rivals even have siblings that only exist in some universes... I think I might play too much Pokemon...

this is super hard for me to explain to my friends. but at the end of my speech they understand

Im so happy you kept steven stone his shiny metagross in the show is my favourite pokemon especially the mega

If that machine killed lots of Pokemons.. does that mean that there might have been a legendary that died and no one knows about it?

This theory is definitely correct. In Pokèmon Sun and Moon, you can use a worm hole to travel to another dimension. If you have Sun, you travel to the world of Pokėmon Moon, and for Moon you go to Sun!

Absolutely in love with the explanation of schrodingers cat with a skitty! ❤

Me watching this in 2019: Pokémon into the Poké verse

In a episode of Pokémon Ashe and pikachu get lost in a cave of mirrors and end up in another dimension

I just finished the Pokémon Sun Looker Postgame, and I'm happy to say that it took a little under two years, this theory is 100% CONFIRMED!!! WOOHOO MATPAT YOU DID IT MY GUY!!! Evidence in Sun? The small novel of dialogue between Looker and Nanu about Anabel near the end of the postgame. Looker says that a decade before the events of the game, Looker and Nanu found a girl on a beach. She had been doused in energy from an Ultra Wormhole, which suggests that she was from another world. When she awoke, she could only tell them four things: Her name was Anabel She was from the Hoenn region She "protected some kind of tower there" (verbatim from Looker) She was a powerful Trainer. This isn't a coincidence; Anabel first appeared as one of the Frontier Brains in Emerald. In the Battle Tower, which doesn't exist in ORAS. Let's recap: Anabel, a trainer from Hoenn in Emerald, a Frontier Brain at the Battle Tower, which doesn't exist in ORAS, washed up on a beach as an almost-amnesiac from an Ultra Wormhole, (which lead to other worlds) from the universe without megas to the one with them. Boom. Theory confirmed. And if by some lack of cognitive function you STILL don't believe this, take your mascot legendary to the Altar of the Sunne in Sun or Altar of the Moone in Moon and you'll find a rift in reality. Go up to it. Hit A. What text box come up? Does it say "Solgaleo/Lunala can transport you twelve hours ahead. Will let let it?" No. The dialogue you get says "Through the distortion, you see what appears to be another world. Will you go though?" Hit yes. You'll be transported to the other game's world. Or shall I say universe?

Talking about old, this video is 4 years old

some extra backround about az: on route 10 in x/y is where all the dead pokemon rest as statues. it is also believed in absorbing all of the power from the weapon being fired az gained immortality and massive height.

wait- so when I transferred my pokemon from soul silver, to black, to black 2, to X, then Alpha Sapphire, they went through a dimensional rift!? 4 times?!

Dear god I feel old knowing that I got red version for Christmas the year it came out :'( But Pokemon was my childhood, so i aint even mad

I remember being around 10 years old and watching this being the first game theory video I've watched and getting hooked

13:09 MAGNETITES CUT OFF LINE HAS ME LITERALLY DYING

yes, pokemon is one of the very first series to outright acknowlege string theory being the basis of its very existence and that every single reality is literally just another cartridge aka experience of a different player. its unbelievably brilliant, and it makes me even more happy to be a long time fan.

[looks at mario bros 3] [looks at mario 64] “tHeSe GaMeS aRe In DiFfErEnT dImEnSiOnS!!!”

These older theories are some of my favorite

This was a particularly satisfying episode

I wanna go to the pokemon universe. I wanna be the very best.

kinda want to know what your thoughts on this theory after knowing that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon is in an alternate universe.

I came back to rewatch this again and I can't help but appreciate the Chrono Trigger music. Thank you for that MatPat. PS: I hope you and your family have been doing well. Always like hearing updates about y'all. :)

We need an updated version for this

No Mom, Pokemon's not a waste of time! I'm learning quantum mechanics or something, gosh just get out of my room I'll go outside tomorrow!

Is it bad that I not only understood everything he said but I knew all of those theories about quantum physics before watching this? And was like "haha, some people are peasants and wont understand this". I'm also only 15 so... I'm either really smart or dont have a life.

This was one of the first theories of his that I watched, brings me back lol

Wow, i love this theory! Great stuff

Actually, this theory is technically correct. For example: *spoilers* If you beat Alpha Sapphire for the 3DS, there is an "afterstory" about Zillia (I think her name is) where she destroys a device to save Hoenn from the meteor that's about to hit. She mentions about a wormhole device about another version of Hoenn but a Hoenn without the Mega Evolution (Sapphire GBA) and without the Great Pokemon War 3,000 years ago (Pokemon X and Y) So yeah MatPat nailed it...

Im pretty sure that every copy being a unique thing was actually a thing that was discussed among the devs at some point, at least I have a vague memory of hearing how this idea is actually quite old in the history of Pokemon.

Loved the steins;gate music with the Quantum theory and schrodinger's cat

It's actually really cool to think about. Tomorrow in school, if I choose to not do my homework tonight, the teacher won't be very happy, and then I will remember that, and I will feel a bit bad, and I will maybe do the homework the next day instead of the plans I actually had, and do the plans I actually had another day, and so on. So, that would create a different timeline that it would if I chose to actually do my homework. Pretty cool to think about that every single choice you make creates a new path for you.

HOLY SKITTY, THAT EXPLAINS WHY THERE ARE SHINY POKÉMON AND WHY THEY ARE SO RARE TO FIND! **On the next episode of G-Files**

I came back to this video to get hyped for detective Pikachu And oh man the nostalgia hit me, it just feels like yesterday when this video came out and after watching it my mind was blown, and its been 4 years, wow, time flies fast

Thank you for the Chrono Trigger music in here. Totally works :)

Pokémon sun and moon completely confirmed this theory

Matpat you forgot the other post game events like the legendaries. If you've heard of Hoopa it can literally rip a hole in hyperspace and transport things through that hole like the legendary pokemon, but if Hoopa has this power why doesn't he have the power to traverse dimensions.

My mind is blown K think that you are VERY write about all of this stuff

Who came from the new film theory?

Has anyone noticed that when you trade a shinno Pokémon to Pokémon x or y it say "is must have traveled through space and time"

Not bad, not bad at all. Not just anyone could explain String theory, and Schrodinger's cat in a new and amusing way even though I already understood the concepts. Thumbs up.

Amazing pun filled open. Subscribed!

Yeah, it is kinda easy to make pokemon. I literally made my own two-stage pokemon while randomly sketching, Booklion and Shelflion, the stages being in that order, you can guess what they looked like. Oh, and the third stage was Librarion, which I had issues drawing.

Something that proves Mats point even further, is that if a pokemon was transferred through games (like soul silver to platinum, xy to oras) then under their capture dates it states "from another dimension

What if every time we die, our life gets transported to a universe where we didn't, and we simply don't know because we don't have the memory of dying in said universe?

6 years ago, yay, I also read it like "link a cable" today I've also watched alot of interesting game theory episodes

Ur theory is right Its proven in ultra sun and ultra moon by using the legendary pokemon of the sun if ur playing pokemon sun or moon if pokemon moon

Thanks for reminding me that I have no life.

After you said every game is a different dimension, I thought of putting the comment that fits in every single Mat Pat's video: *Mind=Blow.*

Meanwhile, in Black and White: Hey, I'm a sentient NPC who somehow know how to connect two Unovas with the Black and White cartridge.

I love the Steins;Gate OSt you choose to explain the Schrödinger's cat experiment
